History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
On an unknown date prior to the
establishment of Big Cypress National
Preserve, 442 cultural items were
removed from an unnamed site in
Collier County, FL, by D.L. Houghton. In
1999, Mr. Houghton donated the objects
to Big Cypress National Preserve and
indicated to park staff the location of
their removal. The whereabouts of the
human remains is not known. The 442
unassociated funerary objects are 439
glass beads, 1 beaded silver bracelet, 1
wire beaded bracelet, and 1 metal knife.
The unnamed site exhibits evidence
of historic Seminole/Miccosukee
occupation including glass, metal, and a
number of chickee structures. Both the
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the
Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously

specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary

History and Description of the Remains
In 1953, human remains representing,
at minimum, four individuals were
removed from AZ Q:1:3 in Apache
County, AZ, by Fred Wendorf as part of
his doctoral research at Harvard
University. The human remains and
associated funerary objects are in the
physical custody of the Museum of
Northern Arizona (MNA) in Flagstaff,
AZ. No known individuals were
identified. The 2,107 associated
funerary objects are 13 pottery bowls, 1
mineral (galena), 6 pottery jars (some
fragmentary), 2,057 shell beads, 1 stone
pendant, 2 stone scrapers, 1 shell
pendant, 25 basket fragments, and 1
blanket.
In 1985, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from AZ Q:1:58 in Apache
County, AZ during legally authorized
excavations. No known individuals
were identified. The one associated
funerary object is a pottery bowl.
In 1988, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from AZ Q:1:226 in Navajo
County, AZ, during legally authorized
archeological survey and site
recordation. No known individuals were
identified. The 11 associated funerary
objects are 2 pottery bowls, 3 pottery
jars, and 6 shell beads.
Archeological site context and types
of funerary objects suggest that all three
sites were occupied by ancestral
Puebloan peoples. Ethnographic and
archeological evidence, including burial
orientation, body position, and the type
and placement of the associated
funerary objects, indicates that the
mortuary practices of these ancestral
Puebloan peoples correspond closely
with those of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona
and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico.
Determinations Made by Petrified
Forest National Park
Officials of Petrified Forest National
Park have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of seven
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 2,119 objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or

later as part of the death rite or
ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Hopi Tribe of Arizona and Zuni

Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian

that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
